Question: You have noticed that more primary children are becoming obese and physical fitness has been terminated in the elementary schools. To provide evidence that reducing physical activity in the schools results in increased weight gain, you study 16 randomly selected non-obese children for 8-weeks. The following data are the weights of each child prior to the termination of physical activity and 8 weeks after the termination.
| Student | Weight before | Weight after | Difference |
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | 55.7 54.9 59.6 62.3 74.2 75.6 70.7 53.3 73.3 63.4 68.1 73.7 91.7 55.9 61.7 57.8 | 61.7 58.8 66 66.2 79 82.3 74.3 59.3 79.1 66 73.4 76.9 93.1 63 68.2 60.3 |
